First, help us spread the word about our HUGE Memorial-Day Only Sale! It's $12/lesson with a minimum purchase of ten (10) lessons. It's available NOW through Memorial Day only!

And now, a message from JoD:

Just a reminder... Starting June 1, 2015... if your lessons are scheduled any day M-S from 9-2:40 you will be going to 2195 N. 100 E, (Canyon Road) PG. Parking is in the church parking lot, and walk next door to the pool in the corner. If your lessons are scheduled Tues, Wed, Thur from 3-7, you will be going to 10666 N. East Jerling Drive, (by the Alpine Country Club) Highland.

We will be at these outdoor pools for the duration of the summer, June-Sept. For Fall and Winter (until my facility is completed) we will be back at the 10196 Hidden Pond, Highland pool. Commercial construction is VERY slow, and it looks like it won't be till next year my new aquatics facility will be built. I am working on getting the property just west of Walmart in Saratoga Springs. We are all very excited about this, but know it's down the road.

In the mean time can we all be courteous in our parking, trash, and noise level? There are no bathroom facilities at the PG pool, so use the public bathroom at Discovery Park a couple blocks away. The Highland pool will allow us to use the bathroom off the garage. Please park throughout the neighborhood in Highland and NOT in front of the neighbor to the south of the pool.

Thanks, everyone, for your patience while we worked out bugs on the Evernym Channel. Responses normally come only to the Channel owner (Andrea), but for a day or so, all responses were going to everyone. Sorry about that and thanks again for your patience! The issue has been resolved now.Starting June 1 the locations will be at:9-3, Monday-Friday: 2195 N 100 E Pleasant Grove. Park in south end of the church parking lot and walk next door to the pool. There are no bathroom facilities here. The closest bathroom is at Discovery Park, south a couple blocks.

Lane 1: Dalton

Lane 2: Kayla/Mashay

Lane 3: Noelle

Lane 4: Blake

Lane 5: Aubri

Lane 6: Sara

Hailey will be the lunch sub for everyone between the hours of 11:40-1:40.

3-7, Tuesdays,Wednesdays, and Thursdays: 10666 N. East Jerling Drive, Highland, which is right next to Alpine Country Club. Spread yourselves around the neighborhood to park. We can use the bathroom right off the garage.

3-7, Mondays and Fridays: rather than find a third pool, JoD is deleting all lanes and crediting parents' accounts. Please reschedule these lessons for another time.

JoD is opening up another lane from 9-3 as soon as she knows all her instructors' schedules.

In September, we'll be back to the current pool in Highland (10196 Hidden Pond Highland) and it's expected that JoD's new, permanent location will be finished and ready at the start of 2016. Yay!

Parking information for the new Highland pool: It's literally right on the Highland Country Club golf range. Parents can park by the country club or on the street (not by the next door neighbors to the south).

JoD has found a piece of property! And she's under contract for it! So exciting. :-) It's west of Walmart in Saratoga Springs right off of SR 73. This is a fantastic location—there are several highways that lead there, including SR 73, the new extension for Pioneer Crossing, and the 2100 West highway that leads to Redwood Road. The fact that it's in a commercial location, off of a main road and not in a residential subdivision will cut a lot of commute time.

She's meeting with the builder tomorrow (April 3) to learn when they'll be able to start building her new swim facility! We'll keep you posted on all developments as they happen. Hurray for a permanent location!

If you're interested in sponsoring and getting name recognition for your business (or for yourself), check out this blog post here.

Depending on when the facility is completed, below is the tentative schedule for June 1 and on. To see the current schedule, click here. All instructors will be working either 9-3 or 3-6. This schedule is for Mon-Fri. Saturdays will be announced later.

Lane 1 Dalton 9-3 at the pool by the church in PG
??? 3-6 to be announced
Lane 2 Kayla 9-3 at the pool by the church in PG
??? 3-6 to be announced
Lane 3 Noelle 9-3 at the pool by the church in PG
Bridger 3-6 to be announced
Lane 4 Laura 9-3 at the pool by the church in PG
Ben Jr. 3-6 to be announced
Lane 5 Blake 9-3 at the pool by the church in PG
??? 3-6 to be announced

Address for the church in PG: 2195 N 100 E, Pleasant Grove, UT. Park at the south end of the parking lot and walk through the opening in the fence at that corner. You'll see the pool in the backyard of the house.

Thanks for your patience and support! We're so super excited about the property and future permanent pool location!

We've got a busy schedule set up (see below) with several new and fantastic swim instructors who are starting this week!

First, we have Laura. She has a background working with special needs individuals and loves kids. She is going to be the gentle one in the pool, taking Valerie's lane M-F 9-3.

Second, Blake. She has a strong swimming background, has taught group lessons, and has been in the Coast Guard. JoD opened up Tues and Thurs 9-11:40 and 3-6, then lane 3 on Saturdays for her.

Third, Sarah. She is a past lifeguard and swim instructor for the public pools and has been working with special needs individuals for several years. She'll be in lane 4 Mon and Wed from 3:00-6:00, then she and Blake will alternate in lane three on Fridays.

Please help us welcome these ladies! We're sure you're going to love them!

Now, several updates:

The family who owns the pool wants to have it for just their family on conference weekend. If you had lessons scheduled on Friday April 3rd from 4:00pm on and Saturday the 4th (all day), you'll need to reschedule them. Thanks!

JoD is looking for sponsors! If you know a company (or own one) that would like a tax write-off and ways to market their brand, let JoD know (email her here)! We're looking for donations of anywhere from $1,000 and above. JoD only needs $53,000 to get her aquatics facility started!

Perks for donating:

Company banner displayed in JoD's new aquatics facility

Company name printed at the bottom of emails, on the blog, on the website

Tax write-off!

If someone wants to donate the entire $53,000, the pool could even be named after their company!

The money needs to be donated by the first week of April, and construction will begin as soon as a piece of property is found. JoD is looking from Lindon to Lehi (point of the mountain). It needs to be zoned commercial and close to the freeway. The property needs to be at least 1/2 - 3/4 an acre. The building will be 4,000 square feet and there will be 30 parking stalls!

If you know of a piece of property that matches the above description, let JoD know! (Email her here.) And if you know of a commercial Realtor who can find said property, point them in JoD's direction. :-)

Now, then! Here's the schedule for March-June:

Let us know if you have any questions! Please note that on Mondays, when Alliesha is in Lane 5 all day, she's working with her own students. But if there's ever an opening listed on the schedule on the website, go ahead and take it! And if there are ever any changes to the above, we'll let you know. :-)

Monday, February 16, 2015

1. "Alliesha is going to be opening up her own lane for her clients in lane 5, Mondays and Fridays. Please don't fill in those days in lane 5. Thanks!"

2. "Everyone coming in and swimming with us, please stop off at the card table and fill out a new and updated Parental Consent Form. Each family coming has to fill out a paper form as well as one online. Thanks so much for coming!"

3. "I've decided to find some commercial property to build an aquatics facility on somewhere in North Utah County. So I'm looking for several things... anyone who would like to trade land (at least an acre), building contractor, blue print designer to draw up blue prints like this one in Highland, pool builder, all to be done by June 1, 2015. We have a lot of work to do so if you want to assist in this project, just text or email me. We got this!

And now for the question. We're wanting to post more content on the blog and are wondering what sorts of things you would like to see? Please comment below!

Last week in February: JoD and Dalton are going to Hawaii for his graduation present.

Swim Team updates:

Swim Team is in full swing! If you're interested in moving your children up to the next level, this is the way to do it. They have to know all 4 racing strokes. Pass them off with Dalton. Swim team is in the evenings Mon-Thu from 6:00-6:40. It's only $75/mo. Chelsea, JoD's daughter, is running it and doing a great job, so by summer they'll be ready for the big leagues!
